The rest is just noise

"Coach, it's me."

Although the other party did not announce his name, Louis could determine the other party's identity just by his voice.

Who else could it be if he wasn't Rodman?

At this time, Louis resented him deeply, and did not hear the strangeness in the other party's tone at all. He snorted coldly: "Who are you, and how do you know my home phone number?"

"I know I let you down, Coach. I let everyone down, and I know I'm a jerk."

If Rodman's tone before was just a little trembling, now it's completely full of tears.

Louis is not hard-hearted. He has a strong opinion on Rodman and wants to trade him. Now he takes the initiative to call himself and his tone is almost broken. Something must have happened to him.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"I'm sorry, coach, I won't cause you any more trouble."

"Hello? Dennis? Hello?!"

The phone hung up.

"Dennis is finally willing to call you?" Lorraine thought the matter was resolved.

But Louis frowned.

In less than ten seconds, Louis decided to go out.

He's going to find Rodman.

But Rodman didn't say where he was, and Louis wasn't even sure if he was in New York.

Louis changed his clothes and called Rodman, but he didn't answer.

Louis immediately called NY-PD99 (police station).

Although his work is almost separated from these people by a dimensional wall, there are many troublemakers in the Knicks team, and Louis can't help but deal with them.

The 99th Bureau was the bureau that was most familiar with Louis. Through this relationship, Louis asked them to lock the opponent's position through the phone call Rodman gave him.

Although phone location technology only became available to the public in 1996, the police, as a special profession, have long used this sophisticated technology.

GPS positioning is not unusual for Louis, who once lived in a world where China built Beidou.

Although this matter was illegal, the 99th Precinct still helped Louis lock Rodman's position.

Thank God, Rodman is in New York, not far from Louis' house.

"Malena, you go to bed first, I'll go out for a while."

Louis didn’t know what Rodman was up to, but he was a ruthless character who broke his teeth and had to swallow them. He called his house in the middle of the night and cried shamelessly, saying that he would never give it to him again.

Causing trouble?

Louis was worried that Rodman would do something stupid.

"Is Dennis okay?" Lorraine realized something was wrong.

Louis could only pray that Rodman just couldn't think about it for a moment, or that he hadn't reached the final step yet.

"Pray for him, Marlena. I hope that idiot is okay."

Louis drove to the location provided by the 99th Precinct.

He saw Rodman's car.

So, he turned on the lights, parked the car, closed the car door forcefully, and saw Rodman sitting in a state of confusion, and secretly sighed for good luck.

Louis walked angrily to the car and patted the window.

Before this second, the anger in Louis' heart could burn Rodman to ashes.

When Rodman turned around, Louis saw the face of a broken man.

He has seen this expression before.

When he was surfing the Internet in his previous life, he saw a short video of a man drinking in the rain and then burst into tears.

Even without knowing him, Louis could feel a hint of bitterness from his undignified demeanor.

The feeling Rodman gave Louis was similar to that scene.

"Open the door."

Louis said in a deep voice.

Rodman may not be able to hear Louis' voice, but he can definitely understand it through lip reading.

Rodman opened the car door.

Louis sat in.

The first moment he got in, he was sure that this was really Rodman's car.

The car was filled with a strong smell of alcohol, the stench of vomit, and a strange mixture of all kinds of indescribable smells.

Normally, even if Rodman gave Louis $10,000, he would not get in the car.

"What happened?"

Louis didn't mean to offend, although he wanted to scold Rodman for his faults and ask him what he wanted to do.

But he knew now wasn't the time.

Rodman said painfully: "That cousin broke up with me."

Louis sarcastically said: "Since she is just a cousin in your eyes, what do you have to be sad about? There are countless cousins ​​in the world, and you can definitely find a better one."

"No, she is a unique cousin, there can be no one better than her."

Louis felt like he was talking to a bull.

He stayed up most of the night and came here just to discuss "counsel" with the mentally disturbed Rodman?

Louis said nothing further.

Rodman was babbling.

Louis believed that the other party would tell the whole story.

really…

Rodman spoke: "Half a month ago, she told me that she could not be entangled with a professional basketball player. I have won many championships and it was time to retire and do something else."

What a vicious woman, you want to dismantle my team?

Louis started to get angry.

"Of course I didn't want to retire, so I told her I would do anything for her but not retire, just to prove it..."

Louis gritted his teeth and interrupted him: "Is this the reason why you disappeared?"

Rodman nodded sadly.

He won’t die?!

Why isn't he dead yet?!!

When he said on the phone that he would not cause me any more trouble, did he mean that he was going to die? If you want to die, hurry up and die immediately!!!

Louis was furious. Really, today he not only confirmed that Rodman was a stupid dog, but also confirmed that a certain curse word was wrong.

They say a cousin paired with a dog will last forever.

Rodman and Madonna have all the elements in place, so why can’t they fucking last forever? These two scumbags should be together forever and stop harming others.

"However, she still feels that it is not enough. I should have known that her desire is not enough. I will never be able to satisfy her, because I am just a fucking professional basketball player!" Rodman cried bitterly,

"I'm one of the countless pieces of clothing she left in the warehouse!"

After being furious, Louis began to reflect.

He's reflecting on what he brought to Rodman.

From a career perspective, he allowed Rodman to win five championships without having to hug Jordan and Pippen, and he may win more in the future.

But is Rodman still Rodman?

Louis thinks he is no longer the same person he once knew

Perhaps because of him, Rodman tasted the various flavors that success, fame and fortune bring early.

The city of New York has a unique charm.

But for someone like Rodman, New York is like a catalyst for decay.

In the first few years of his career, Rodman was on the verge of success. But after he succeeded, he did not release his true nature immediately.

He became a freak.

A popular Knicks player, a tough guy, and an indispensable key player.

He used this image to help the Knicks win five championships.

Then during this period, he suddenly felt bored and wanted to do something else to stimulate himself.

Just like that, he finally showed signs of change.

Louis thought that Rodman would become the devil he was familiar with, but this trend only lasted for a year. Madonna changed Rodman, and this change was more drastic than Louis' previous life.

Rodman was hurt beyond imagination in this relationship.

Louis sadly discovered that Madonna liberated Rodman's nature, but also made him more sensitive and vulnerable.

"I'm a bastard!"

"I'm a loser!"

"I'm homeless!"

"Even if I die on the street, no one will care!"

"Coach, you won't care about me anymore, right?" Rodman said with tears in his eyes.

Louis asked coldly: "Have you been traded?"

"Asking you, have you been fucking traded?!"

Rodman shook his head dully.

"Since you haven't been traded yet, you are still a Knicks player. I have the obligation to take care of you. Unless you don't want me to take care of you, then I can only trade you." Louis said bitterly, "Dennis, this

The core of the question is, are you still willing to be controlled?"

Rodman didn't answer. He thought about how he was disgusted by his mother and kicked out of the house, and how he was used as a cash machine by his ex-wife.

His daughter regarded him as a stranger, and the world only knew him as a madman.

He once thought that only Madonna understood him, but in the end, Louis was still the only one who cared about him.

But he has always failed Louis.

Thinking of this, Rodman couldn't help crying.

"I'm sorry, coach..."

"sorry…"

Louis once prepared a lot of curse words to entertain Rodman, but now, he can't utter a curse word.

He looked at the collapsed man and couldn't help but feel afraid. What would happen if he didn't find Rodman tonight?

Louis finally just patted him on the shoulder gently: "It will pass, Dennis, everything will pass."

Rodman's disappearance and appearance were so strange that Louis no longer knew what the meaning of his anger was.

Because he would eventually forgive Rodman.

Is that okay? Louie unknowingly played both the roles of Chuck Daly and Phil Jackson in Rodman's life.

Does this mean he is responsible for Rodman?

Because apart from him, it would be difficult for Rodman to find another coach who has an emotional foundation and can tolerate all his mistakes.

Louis once thought that, besides the competition between Wilson and Ewing, Rodman was his biggest problem.

However, compared with the emergencies the Knicks are about to face, this is not a problem at all.
